CONNECTOR: add a proc entry to list connectors

I got a problem when I wanted to check if the kernel supports process
event connector, and It seems there's no way to do this check.

At best I can check if the kernel supports connector or not, by looking
into /proc/net/netlink, or maybe checking the return value of bind() to
see if it's ENOENT.

So it would be useful to add /proc/net/connector to list all supported
connectors:
 # cat /proc/net/connector
 Name            ID
 connector       4294967295:4294967295
 cn_proc         1:1
 w1              3:1

Changelog:
- fix memory leak: s/seq_release/single_release
- use spin_lock_bh instead of spin_lock_irqsave
